TUESDAY, FEB. 26, Y From First Page) stances rivers are of ample size, considering the population on the watershed, to assimilate sewage without substantial nuisances. However, in many streams of relatively small or medium size pollution has occurred and still does occur in objectionable degrees. These nuisances are not only of a gross type with respect to offense to sight and smell, but they also relate to the public health. The sewage problem is fundamentally one of preventing or abating such nuisances. There are now available a number of sewage treatment methods which in suitable combinations will meet practically every requirement for the disposal of sewage from ordinary cities and towns. This can be done at' reasonable cost, although the expense will naturally vary materially under different local conditions. The main point to emphasize however, is that practically any desired result may be obtained. There is no longer any excuse for continuance of the views of twenty-fiv- e to seventy-fiv- e years ago when the lack of suitable methods prevented the remedying of many cases of objectionable stream pollution. Typhoid fever baoilli and similar eneric organisms will not multiply under any ordinary conditions after they are discharged into a water course. They will live for quite a number of days in gradually diminishing numbers, with the resistant minority living for a long period in relatively clean water. About 50 will die in from one' to four days in from three to and about 90 thirteen days. It has been found that typhoid baccill can survive in sterile water in glass vessels for upwards of three months, and possibly for two or three weeks In unsterilized ground or surface water. The bacteria is able to travel in water a distance of about ninety miles and to retain its vitality in bodies of water for four or five days. In the middle nineties the septic tank came into quite general vogue in England and America. The development of two story tanks, in which the sludge Is digested in separate chambers terminated their popularity in America. Hie septic tank likewise gave place In England to the use of plain sedimentation tanks. If removal of the sludge is neglected the sludge will, in time be lifted by gas and disgorged into the effluent. If detention period of the liquid is too d long the liquid becomes over and offensive. For these reasons and on account of possible odors septic tanks are not well suited for use in large communities. The process of. plain sedimentation consists in the removal of settleahle solids by sedimentation unaided by chemicals, in tanks from which the sludge is withdrawn promptly enough to avoid putrefaction. or other Improved mechanical means for removing settled sludge, the advent of the activated sludge process, which requires sedimentation as final treatment, and the growing practice of digesting sludge in separate tanks, have enhanced the station of plain sedimentation in more recent years. The digestion, of sludge to an inodorous condition in separate tanks, although not an Independent treatment process is one of the outstanding developments of the past ten years. This method, in conjunction with plain sedimentation, competes with tanks, and in some cases has economic and other advantages there OTer. It gives much promise as a helpful adjunct to existing sedimentation plants. The installation of sanitary sewers should follow some comprehensive plan. Sewers Installed to serve certain sections of the city should be designed as parts of a I large comprehensive system. It is desirable from an economic standpoint to install sewers of such size and laid to such grades as to form a part of the permanent general system of sewers that will serve not only the city itself, but also outlying portions likely to be annexed. If this is not done it may become necessary to lay, or relay duplicate 'sewers or to install costly pumping plants when the . extensions are made. It would seem that the simplest way to correct insanitary conditions arising from the improper disposal of sewage on private property is not to penalize property owners for creating nuisances but to make it easier for owners to dispose of sewage satisfactorily, by providing legitimate outlets in the form of public Bewers. It is almost invariably false economy to endeavor to dispose of sewage on private property, yet it is surprising how difficult it sometimes is to convince the public of this fact. The amount of money invested in these individual sewage disposal devices, and the amount spent in maintaining them is often startling. Similar amounts spent on public sewer systems would bring more satisfactory results, and be much cheaper in the long run. For instance, I krfow of a school that pays on the average of $100.00 per year for new cesspools, or for having the old ones cleaned. City officials generally give enough thought to these matters to see that a public sewerage system is a good business proposition. The question of financing the construction and operation of a sewage treatm-vA- tH plant is sometimes apparently leaJ answerable. These questions ' can b answered i however. The ' answer & sewer rents. Ohio now has a. sfea law which makes It permissible municipalities to establish se rents. These rents not only estab! a source of revenue for maintenai., of sewerage systems, but may be made to cover the capital cha on sewage treatment At the risk of rambling I attempted to cover a number fo rather diverse points, which I lieve worthy of consideration, wa of summary I should say the efficient municipal sewerage includes: (1) Properly installed house plumbing, regulated by plumbing code; (2) Tight sani sewers, laid in accordance with. comprehensive plan; (3) Adequate sewage treatment plants; (4) q dency toward larger sewer syste (5) Possibility of sewer rentim based on water consumption, asf n I source of revenue.
